Shaping the Future Force: Transitioning JC2 and ISR for Irregular Warfare Major General Bill Rajczak USAF Deputy Director Joint Capabilty Development USJFCOM 1
Overview Introduction USJFCOM Command Priorities JC2 Leader Centric Net Enabled The Irregular Warfare Challenge Summary 2
USJFCOM: Mission and Functions The United States Joint Forces Command provides mission ready Joint Capable forces and supports the development and integration of Joint, Interagency, and Multinational capabilities to meet the present and future operational needs of the Joint Force. Provide trained and ready joint forces and capabilities Develop, explore, and integrate joint warfighting concepts Develop combined warfighting concepts and integrate multi-national and interagency warfighting transformation efforts Serve as the lead joint force integrator Support development of integration and fully interoperable systems and capabilities Lead development of joint doctrine, concepts, requirements and integrated architectures Develop joint tactics, techniques, and procedures and doctrinal publications 4
Joint Command and Control Support for Decision-Making Strengthened Partnerships Elements of the JC2 Vision Leader-centric net-enabled Policy Joint / Coalition Integration Training & Education JFC & JTF HQ Collaborative Coherent Net-Enabled Ops What this is about Coordinated Unambiguous Joint procurement Emphasize Human Joint Command and Transparent Control is fundamentally a Human endeavor Technical integration Factors Operational art beyond the science Assured information that builds knowledge and speeds decision-making Reliable systems and tested processes Distributed information; relevant knowledge allowing decentralized execution Promote decision cycles inside the enemy s ability to adapt NECC is a direct contributor and must be developed with the same operational focus! 5

Emerging Problem Capabilities, systems, and processes designed for major combat operations have not been optimized for irregular warfare. In particular, this applies to ISR support (e.g., collection, exploitation, analysis, and dissemination). 7
Transitioning DCGS for Conventional and Irregular Warfare Conventional COIN MORE MORE ISR Capabilities ISR Capabilities LESS PLN CO BDE DIV Echelon CORPS LESS PLN CO BDE DIV Echelon CORPS Knowledge Speed at the Edge Dominate both fights! 8
The Solution Adapting capabilities, systems, and processes for use in both major combat operations and irregular warfare Building capabilities for irregular warfare 9

What is Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC)? DoD s emerging principal command and control capability Dependent upon Core Enterprise Services (CES) provided by Net Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) program and establishment of Global Information Grid (GIG) USJFCOM is operational sponsor and requirements/capability lead J8 ensures continuous, dedicated engagement and flexibility from capability development through fielding Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is lead acquisition agent Rapidly develop, test, evaluate & certify capability and deliver to the Warfighter
Net-Enabled Services DCGS & NECC Linkage GCCS FoS to NECC
NECC Warfighter Perspective Reasonable vertical interoperability, but limited horizontal interoperability Migration to Client-Server Common Operational Picture Service Oriented Architecture Joint C2 capabilities - National thru Joint Force Commanders to components/tactical-level warfighters Joint Combat Capability Developer provides capability needs process & end-to-end warfighter engagement Federated Development & Certification Environment enables rapid development, test/evaluation, certification and delivery of C2 capabilities
Summary Focus on Challenge of Irregular Warfare Adapting ISR processes and products Serving the warfighter at the tactical edge Building knowledge speed, accuracy, and timeliness Achieving Intelligence and Operations Enterprise Interoperability Leader Centric Net Enabled 13
Joint C2 Vision Joint Command and Control (JC2) is first and foremost a human endeavor....command and control is not synonymous with network operations and the employment of advanced technology. General James Mattis Commander, USJFCOM - Coherent C2 policy - Training and education initiatives - Strengthened partnerships - Joint & Coalition capability integration The Joint Commander and the Joint Warfighter are our first and most demanding Customer
